Mia-Lily
Girl name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Mia-Lily: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2012.
Mia-Lily blends two internationally popular names into a modern double‑barrelled choice. Mia originated as a Scandinavian short form of Maria, ultimately from the Hebrew Miryam, often interpreted as “star of the sea” or “beloved.” Lily comes from the English word for the white flower, a symbol of purity and innocence long used as a given name. While no famous bearer shares the exact hyphenated form, both names stand alone with notable associations—Mia Farrow as a celebrated actress and Lily James as a screen star. The combination reflects a Scottish trend for paired names that honour family or simply sound harmonious. In Scotland, Mia-Lily appeared steadily from the early 2000s, offering a fresh yet familiar feel for parents seeking a name with two softly lyrical halves.
